DIY Caramel Vanilla Latte Recipe

For the past month, I’ve been missing my Peet’s Carmel Latte because I’m broke! We are cutting back on extras at home to save some money for a family trip. The one thing I’m giving up is my Weekly Peet’s Latte fix however I’m craving one so bad. I decided to make my own. Guess what.. I’m going to be able to save the money pretty quickly because I like my homemade latte! I had everything in my fridge except the Carmel Syrup. That was simple enough to buy at the grocery store. Now I can enjoy a latte whenever I want!

Once the milk is hot, remove from heat and pour the milk slowly into your coffee cup

Use a large spoon to hold back the foam while you are pouring

Add the foam to the top

Drizzle Caramel sauce on top

Oh my this recipe is simple and I didn’t even mess it up- it actually taste pretty darn good. I think it might even taste better than my Peet’s latte. Don’t be mad Peet’s I will be back someday but for now I will be making my own latte. I want to try White Chocolate Mocha next. I’m saving $10 3x a week (when we go I get a latte, my daughter a frappuccino and a cookie) so that is $30 a week and $120 a month. Oh wow, when I break it down like that I’m very happy my DIY Latte tastes good, makes me feel better.

Question for our readers:What HOT DRINK do you buy that you can make at home?
